Great time travel

Zhang Pu and Zhang Gandu, who were born in Taicang, Jiangsu Province, are the most powerful "Charge Captain" under the Donglin Party, the founder of Fushe, and the most famous "Scholar Leader" in the world during the Chongzhen period.Before this person passed the imperial examination, he had done countless major things, from organizing riots to attacking government offices, setting fire to the city, and beating officials. The intensity of his battles was definitely no less than that of the May Fourth Movement , I really want fame at the expense of life and death.

——Zhang Pu was born in poverty, but he was eager to learn at a young age, and he was known as a child prodigy.In the fourth year of Tianqi (1622), he began to form an association to comment on current affairs and gained fame. At first it was named Yingshe (the imperial examination examination group), and later changed to Fushe (the imperial examination re-examination group), with more than [-] members at most; Participated in the anti-tax riots in Suzhou in the year, wrote "Tombstone of Five People", denounced the eunuch party, and became famous all over the world; in the first year of Chongzhen, he "organized the masses" to expel Gu Bingqian, the backbone of the eunuch party, and has since become a superstar among scholars in the world!Since then, the momentum of Fushe has shaken the government and the public. It is known as "the collection of spring and autumn, and the way to be well-dressed", "If you go out of the city, you will know that there are Fushe people."Its influence spreads all over the provinces in the north and south. Wherever it goes, it is empty for thousands of people and has countless fans.

If that's all it is, then this Zhang Pu has at most an extraordinary speech ability, which is equivalent to the level of Martin Luther King Jr. in the United States.But the frightening thing is that Zhang Pu is not only extremely politically fanatical, but also very ambitious and cunning.After he became famous, he refused to step by step to become an official through qualifications and promotion, but tried to reach the sky in one step, by recruiting disciples to control the intellectual circles, dominate the examination room, and finally achieve the goal of controlling the political power—and he really succeeded for a time!Even Zhou Yanru, the chief assistant of the dynasty, was caught by him and had no choice but to obey.Once, Zhang Pu even gave Zhou Yanru a brochure full of people's names, some wanted to be used, and some wanted to be dismissed from office, but Zhou Yanru actually did all of them without daring to disobey.

Think about it, a mere "civilian" without any actual position can actually control the decisions of the court thousands of miles away from home, decide the appointment and dismissal of officials of the Ming Empire, and regard the Ming Dynasty as a plaything in the palm of his hand... In the modern world, is there any country idler under the age of 30 (Zhang Pu is 29 years old) who can do it?

Remotely controlling the imperial court in the countryside, ruling the world as an idler... Zhang Pu's ability to achieve such a level is unprecedented.

Of course, it is said that Zhang Pu was assassinated by Zhou Yanru, who couldn't bear it, or some other big boss because he was too arrogant in the end...

Therefore, for Zhang Pu's sudden visit, Governor Zou Weilian felt very apprehensive, as if seeing hungry wolves and tigers coming to his door.

Obviously, for Fujian Governor Zou Weilian and other officials of the Donglin Party, Zhang Pu, a junior who was supported by them with money and promotion, is almost equivalent to an unfamiliar mad dog, let him bite the eunuchs, Xun Although political enemies like Gui are invincible and have won many battles, once they turn against each other, they will make people feel deeply painful...

Among other things, Zou Weilian couldn't help but feel tired just seeing this guy sitting in front of him in a grandiose manner at this time, arguing with him, the governor of Fujian, in the same generation. I have just passed the imperial examination and passed the imperial examination, and my official is no more than a mere scholar of the Imperial Academy, and now I am still living at home because of filial piety, how dare I be so presumptuous in front of me, a big official in front of me? !Even in terms of age, this old man is 20 years older than you!Where have all the respect and etiquette and ethics gone?

However, I am tired of it, thinking of this guy's terrifying reputation and tens of millions of fans, and the looming Donglin bigwigs behind this visit, Fujian Governor Zou Weilian has no choice but to be patient no matter how unhappy he is. Temper, listen to this guy chattering in my ear:
"...Students of my generation need to uphold righteousness for the world! Even though we are far away from the rivers and lakes, how can we not think about national affairs?! In the past few years, there have been constant natural disasters in various provinces, bandits in the northwest, corruption in Shanxi and Shaanxi provinces; rampant slavery in Liaodong, The capital was shocked overnight; Shandong, Henan, and Beizhili were also in constant turmoil. Some treacherous officials and villains gained power in the court, forcing the gentlemen of Donglin to go to the wild. There are also Australian bandits who sailed across the ocean on large iron ships. Come, set up a stronghold on the high ground of Qiongzhou Prefecture to defend yourself, build a city and pave the road, and recruit soldiers and horses... Cough, buy ships, smuggle goods, collude with rebel warriors from Fujian and Guangdong provinces, and plunder the population. Their power cannot be underestimated. The current situation is already unstable, if there is another southern Kun bandit taking the opportunity to make trouble—it is really unimaginable!"

In the small flower hall of the governor's yamen, Zhang Pu held a teacup in his hand, and talked so eloquently, "...now, the Qiongzhou Kun bandits are colluding with Huangshi in southern Fujian again, colluding internally and externally, harming the good people to enrich themselves, and they are getting bigger day by day. Their plot is really terrifying The only way for us to act first is to be strong, to declare to the world to crusade against the Huangshi thief, eradicate the Funing army, and break the arm of the Kun thief. Only in this way can we get rid of the serious troubles in the southern provinces, and protect the country and the people..."

"...cough, dryness! As you said just now, now that the Central Plains are in turmoil, bandits are rising, the southwestern rebellion is undecided, and the Guanning Army has suffered another major defeat. In the autumn of the year, how can we stir up trouble again and add to the worries of today's holy emperor?"

Zou Weilian, the Governor of Fujian, rolled his eyes when he heard these empty words that were completely out of touch with reality, but he couldn't get angry, so he coughed dryly and patiently persuaded him, "...Huangshi's officials are indeed supporting themselves in Fujian. He did a lot of illegal activities, but at least he didn't raise the flag to rebel, and the taxes in all parts of Fujian can be paid almost in full. At best, he is a bit domineering, just like Li Chengliang in Liaodong in the past.

As for the thieves who are entrenched in Qiongzhou, they have indeed fought several battles with the officers and soldiers, but according to what I have heard, the Australian has now been recruited, and since then he has not stolen, robbed, killed, or plundered. Siege the city, pay taxes according to the regulations, and pay food on time. Apart from doing some business, it seems that there is not much intention to become an enemy of the court... Before that, the pirate leader Zheng Zhilong ran rampant in the Fujian Sea, doing many evils, and breaking countless counties. Xiong Du (Xiong Wencan) He can still be appeased and entrusted with important tasks.Now why do we have to be so fussy and not tolerate a group of thieves who live in remote areas and are doing business? "

——As for the "encirclement and suppression of the thieves and return with a big victory" played by the Guangdong side before, the Australians can only hide in the "hundred-foot high city" that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and dare not come out. It's better not to mention the stupid talk among the well-informed and sensible people like them.

"...My lord, you can't say that! That Huangshi is not only in collusion with the bandit Kun, but also his heart is to be punished. Last year, the bandit went to Japan without authorization. country', any one of them is enough to constitute a serious crime of treason! And although Qiongzhou is remote, it is also the territory of our Ming Dynasty. wait……"

"...Hey, why are you so demanding?! Now that the world is restless and the Central Plains are in turmoil, it is already very good that we can keep a piece of peace and tranquility in the southern country. Besides, the Franji people occupied Haojingao back then. Didn't leave, but didn't cause any big trouble."

Zou Weilian couldn't help interrupting Zhang Pu's words, "...the world is full of troubles, but are there still few incidents of domineering warriors? In the north, I heard that some officers and soldiers slaughtered the county town and killed the county magistrate while hunting for thieves. Still no one is going to pursue it! Compared with them, Huangshi’s domineering and rebellious actions are nothing. Moreover, there are swarms of bandits in Fujian Province, which cannot be separated from the Funing Army’s defense of the border and the peace of the people—the truth is that when the water is clear, there will be no fish. , Gandu must understand it too! Besides, Qiongzhou is under the control of Guangdong, even if troops are sent to fight against the Kun bandits, it has nothing to do with Fujian, so why bother to come to Fuzhou to chatter?"

"...cough cough, my lord, my original intention is not to violate the court system in Fujian and send troops to expedition to Qiongzhou."

Zhang Pu quickly explained, "...But this thief Huangshi really can't be tolerated any longer. Please send an official document quickly to seize his military power, disperse his tribe, and eliminate these rebellious feudal towns for the country. Lords of Donglin I will also support you in the northern and southern capitals, and praise Mr. Zou for his unparalleled loyalty..."

"... Gandu's words are really Meng Lang! All the ministries under Huangshi's command are his direct relatives who have fought with him for many years in Liaodong. They have always only seen the main general in their eyes, and no court. Xiong Du has planned in every possible way in the past, but he can't do anything with this generation. Is it possible to win with just a document from the governor's office?"

Zou Weilian sighed and said, "...Furthermore, the Funing Army not only monopolizes the benefits of maritime trade, but also has overseas thieves as aid. There are many brave men under its banner, and there are no less than [-] soldiers capable of fighting! Even if all the troops in Fujian Province are exhausted It is also difficult to be an enemy. If you take risks rashly, there is really no chance of winning. If the matter fails, it will inevitably provoke the southern kingdom to join forces, and the jade will be destroyed. Is it a good thing? What's more, the current cabinet is dominated by treacherous ministers, the gentleman of Donglin Going to the position, the trend of evil can prevail. The new chief assistant Wen Tiren has always hated the old man, once the incident happens, he will probably make trouble, and the situation will only get worse!"

(Ancient literati generally did not directly call other people's names when they were talking, except when they were swearing.)
Speaking of this, Zou Weilian was almost begging, "... Gandu, it's not that I don't know that the current political situation has changed drastically. Gentlemen should stay calm, and would rather lie dormant for a while, and take time to figure it out. You must not use any kind of tiger-wolf medicine for the sake of quickness, and finally cause a catastrophe!"

In short, no matter how eloquent Zhang Pu was, how he threatened and lured him, Governor Zou Weilian was determined to push back all of them, and he refused to take action against Huangshi and the "Australians" in Fujian rashly, and served as self-contained dry food for the Donglin bigwigs in the south of the Yangtze River Send dead pathfinder cannon fodder.

In the end, when Zhang Pu had no choice but to leave, Zou Weilian couldn't help wiping the cold sweat off his forehead, thinking that this test was finally over again.

However, he didn't notice the ruthless look in Zhang Pu's eyes before he said goodbye and left...

——Don't forget, this man looks like a humble gentleman, but in fact he is a super murderous person who has always killed officials and burned government offices for nothing...
